IPL 2016: Top 7 performers of the month

Mustafizur Rahman

Mustafizur Rahman has proved to be a stellar purchase for Hyderabad

It is not surprising that Mustafizur Rahman has taken the IPL by storm. The canny left arm Bangladeshi pacer has been the talk of the town ever since he burst on to the scene. Mustafizur's performances are one of the primary reasons behind Bangladesh's exemplary success for a year now.

After his sublime spell of 2 for 9 off his 4 overs against the Kings XI Punjab, the SRH skipper David Warner was ecstatic as he called Mustafizur a special talent.

"Mustafizur Rahman is a special talent, Bangladesh should be privileged to have him. His change of pace and execution is brilliant," Warner said.

His variations particularly the slow off-cutters have proved to be fruitful as batsmen have struggled to read him. The promising left-armer dubbed as the 'Fizz' by his SRH team-mates now has 8 wickets from 7 matches.

Though he is 7th on the list of highest wicket-takers this season, Mustafizur has been one of the most talked about players this IPL. His endless guile has made it difficult for batsmen to score off him. He has an economy of 6.53 which is the best among the current top ten wicket-takers this season.
